After he had rescued the dog, Arens, the dog and the boat owner went straight for a warm shower. Arens had his doubts that the dog would make it, but fortunately, the sheriff's department and animal control arrived in time.

Regardless of the injuries Arens sustained that day, he still found a way to deliver the remaining twenty packages in his possession.

Nothing could have stopped him from saving the dog and doing his job. While speaking to Great Falls Tribue about his experience, Arens said:

Animals are my weakness. It was the highlight of my 14-year UPS career.

Coincidentally, he delivered a package to the dog's house on another occasion. The dog, named Sadie, ran out to him when she was let out of her owner's pickup. It's hard to forget a person that did so much for you.

We appreciate the UPS driver for his courage in saving the wirehaired pointing griffon, Sadie. His gesture is commendable and dog lovers everywhere appreciate it.
